TSR2

More than 58 years after its cancellation, the BAC TSR2 is still a controversial aircraft. Supposedly years ahead of its time, it was abruptly cancelled by a new government when flight testing had only just begun. This fascinating book describes in detail the aircraft, its history and the events of its cancellation. Many hitherto unseen photographs and diagrams support the detailed text, which benefits from extensive research in the BAC archives and access to newly rediscovered material.
